Recycling Compatible Toner Cartridges

Hellbell_2

Hi, I have a number of used toner cartridges which I would like to recycle, only they all seem to be the ‘compatible’ cartridges rather than originals. All the recycling sites seem to only give lists of original cartridges that they can accept. Does anyone know whether I can recycle these compatible ones? Thanks

Mainly i take any of my compatible cartridges to our local recycling centre. I know Phoenix Direct take some ink cartridges it might be worth contacting them about the toners.

Hi Guys,
You can get cash for them - I use GreenTech web site here:

Your local council waste collection point should be able to take them and deal with them. I don't know what they do, hopefully not landfill but pass them on for reuse or disposal.

The page below have a list of programs accepting previously recycled cartridges (both paying and non-paying programs):

I know this is an old thread but the problem still remains today. Just to let you know Green Tech DON'T take compatibles - I rang them originals only - local council collect them - Charities don't want them either.

Need 15+ toners. Compatibles accepted according to their site. I'm arranging one now.

I have looked at the site you suggested, but as you mentioned they say the only collect if there is more than 15 cartridges. We only have about 4. Does anyone have any other suggestions please?

Here is another company that will recycle all types of toner cartridges, generic ones as well as original manufacturers - Office Xpress I'm not allowed to add the link but you should be able to find them via Google.
This is a free service and any money they make out of it goes to Charity - Leeds Children's Hospital or Bullying UK - hope this is of use.
